Speaking of Cu, best dog just clutched out against Gilgamesh. It's both sad and amazing how many times I gently caress up on these harder quests before Cu comes to save the day.

I'm honestly baffled that Lancer Cu is just a 3 star.

I mean, it's great because it means he's easy to get.

But he's so absurdly unkillable it's obscene.

They could have easily had Caster Cu be the 3 star version of him, then made his Lancer self a 4 star.

fgo is actually a good game, so they wanted decent, usable units to be 3*s

After someone mentioned you could basically make Cu into a 4* stats-wise if you grailed him up to 80 I've definitely been eying doing just that when I get enough. That sounds a lot more fun than getting a 5* up to 100 and maybe adding 2,000 HP/Atk to them.

If you can not die hard enough you will eventually win, and that sounds S-tier to me.

Realized I had a summon ticket, decided to toss it into the void since I've given up all hope of getting anything good from the Gacha, ended up pulling the Black Grail.
I don't know how to feel about this, I mean, what's an effective use for it?
Right now, my team is pretty much beatsticks and waifus: Mash, Medusa, Hercules, Emiya, Attilla, since the game doesn't require strategy or team composition yet.

Black Grail goes on anyone who has a strong NP and can generate NP really fast to mitigate the damage penalty. Right now, the ideal user is either Medea who can pop NP turn 1 with some skill leveling, or someone else who has an NP charge like Kintoki + Waver.

This and also I believe Okeanos introduces a servant with a very powerful NP that increases in strength as HP goes down.

I'm afraid its because of Super-Science.

Regular-Ass Science is innocent.
I've been grinding the 10-halved AP monster event today to get fangs and bones for lily and Jing Ke, its been rather lucrative compared to the usual grinding, but 5ap grind gets mind-numbing. I'm wondering if I should continue for the next 3 hours, or just let the time lapse and save it for tomorrows monster quests, so I have more for 20-halved AP farming for snake jewels, and can finally get Gils 2nd ascension. So it's balancing my sanity being eroded by grind versus staying up late to empty my AP bar. Thoughts?

I'm pretty set on what characters I really wanna use, but most of them don't come out yet, so I'm left with using various 3 star and lower characters, so I'm wondering: Are there any recommendations on fun interludes for 1 2 or 3 star characters? I'm not too concerned about gameplay impact, so I'm mostly just talking about story.

All the interlude stories are quite short and light, so I think there's going to be a lot of personal preference to it. Like the berserkers, for example; if you like that berserker and their gimmick then you're going to be more into that interlude than one where you're not.

I enjoyed CA Hassan's, D'Eon's, Heracles', Medusa's and Kiyohime's, but none of them were so obviously great that I can insist that everyone else would enjoy them too.

He's good, his kit's set up pretty well for building the NP gauge, popping Sabotage to poison things, and then dumping a shitload of damage on a poisoned guy with Yew Bow.

Robin Hood's one of the best 3* servants and a great candidate for grailing.

Robin Hood is very good and his NP will nuke the gently caress out of whoever you throw him at.

Because the sprite artists are great in adapting so many different art styles for various characters into a cohesive whole. Just overlook the lovely generic animations for a lot of servants.

This game has an issue where the designs aren't bad (usually) but the artists style makes it look like garbage. Jing Ke in Arco Wada's style for instance is good and same with Nightingale.

George is, when grailed, I think still the best Taunt tank in the game right now.

Like, if you like using him and think a Taunt Tank is a useful role to have go ahead.

Anything to make him more survivable and last longer makes him better. Once I pushed him past 45 he's barely ever died despite taking most of the damage in a given battle.

Hm, looks like Artoria also uses them. That would be more relevant if I could find more than one dragon fang every 100 years so I could ascend her to the point where she needs feathers.

You should have been grinding all of thursday, and now need to grind all of friday. The 10AP-halved monster hunt dungeons are going to be the best source of fangs possible for a long time, don't waste them, even if the grind is soul-crushing.

I did grind the 5 AP thursday quest, and got one. But a good point on the one today, didn't know it was a source of fangs.
